A little birdie who lived in a forest for many years, was caught by a hunter and taken to town.There she met many people as she was bought and shifted through many cages.

One fine day after many months of staying captive a little boy opened her cage and she said hello to the wind again. As she returned back to her forest she was asked by her friends about her experience with humans. Here she describes them and says they are no different but very similar to the branches found in the forest .

I don’t know if or not I believe in the word reincarnation. What if life is just this what you have right now and when you are dead – you are gone-done and dusted forever, just like a bulb when it fuses is thrown into the bin. Consider yourself like a fused bulb/tube which is of no use once it it dead. What if there is no life after death and no rebirths . What if this life is your only chance to find out all the answers to all the questions that pop in your head. What if Karma is not a bitch after all and just a facade made up by a few good men preached in few books to warn man from becoming a beast. What if ?

What would you do or believe in ?

What do I believe in ? Well , I don’t know !! I simply have no answer ..

Maybe it’s a single life but I am still groping with many ifs and buts in my life . So what do I plan to do ?

Maybe just live this life unattached unexpecting as I know when I will be gone my memories will slowly fade away one day into oblivion. But can I really do that – stay unattached and not expect !

Or maybe I will try and know as much as I can seeking clarity on all the if’s and but’s in my life. Read~ absorb~throw what doesn’t comply with my system. I am sure this would do me some good !

But where would I search the answers from ? From the holy books written down ages back ? Is everything written in them is the real truth ? Wish someone could prove it for me. The Bhagwat Gita , The Bible , The Quran, the Tripitaka which one is real ? Or were they written just to save humanity ? Should I reach out for one of them to get enlightened like a light bulb !

On second thought, I think I would like to just live one day at a time , make memories both good and bad, fall get up and fall again, it’s kinda fun you see and as they say – make hay while the sun shines – so I will !

So to simplify things since I am not reaching anywhere anytime soon and going around in circles with my what if’s and but’s , I am just going to read and gain insight into some matters close to my heart and mostly trust and believe my gut and my instincts for the time being. What say ?

Till the time I get to all the answers I plan to think, and think a lot, or maybe meditate. Would that help ? To Simplify untangle and clarify myself ?

Mercy
It’s 2 AM in the morning and he is sitting outside his home with the brown street dog who broke a leg last month , feeding him the biscuits from his pocket. He somehow manages to save some shillings every night for the biscuits before spending it all on getting wasted and drunk. He patted the dog as it wagged it’s tail. Stumbling and finding it hard to stand up, he felt out of his senses. Tightening his grip on the bar he alights the steps and ring the door bell. His wife opens the door with shaky hands.Every night he arrives in this inebriated state and shakes her world upside down and today would be no different. He pushed her in whilst hurling abuses.”Dinner” he yelled and she ran in to warm up the food.”Shoes you woman” he yelled again and she ran back to him to take off his shoes. He pulled her by her hair while she asked for mercy “please don’t shout, the kids just went to bed” she pleaded. Irked he pulled the chair and smashed it on to the ground.The sound was terrifying and she controlled her shriek by closing her mouth with both her hands…(To be continued..)
